Man chopped in half by forklift bravely goes swimming as wife 'panics' when he goes under

A man who was chopped in half by a forklift and had his entire lower body amputated has bravely started swimming again, but had a terrifying moment while swimming with his wife.

Montana man Loren Schauers, 21, lost three limbs and faced a long road to recovery after being crushed by the truck in September 2019. He made the brave decision to let doctors perform a hemicorporectomy - amputating everything below his waist to save his life.

But he won't let his injuries or loss of limbs stop him from living life, even if it means his wife gets a scare in the process.
